Re: The obvious questions...

In Response To: The obvious questions... (Mark Levin) > Is Halo now X-box exclusive? X-box oriented? No decisions have been made yet about the future of Halo. Really. Everyone seems to have a hard time believing this, but it's true. The team gets to figure out what they want to do. >What about the Mac version? The PC version? Right now, I honestly don't know. No one does. The Halo team has yet to figure out how they want to spend their time in light of this new development. Obviously we've already done a lot of work on those two versions, and nobody wants to just chuck them entirely. When the team figures out their plans, including the what/where/how of the Mac/PC versions. I will post them. >What about the "platformic > width" of future projects? Does Bungie now believe that > consoles are the future of gaming? If by "platformic width" you mean the range of platforms available for us to publish on, it's as wide as it's ever been. We make those decisions. Obviously we think consoles are pretty important, or we wouldn't be doing this. Are they The Future Of Gaming? I guess we're hedging our bets by demanding the freedom to publish where we want. > Will Halo be delayed to match the X-box's release? Only if the Halo team chooses to do that. > What are Bungie's obligations to MS? What concessions did you > guys make to close the deal? What in your opinion is the worst > aspect of this new situation? Our obligation as a development studio is basically to keep churning out cool games that Microsoft can sell to people. That really is about it. Concessions: we handed Oni and Myth over to Take Two. The worst aspect? For me, it would be leaving Chicago. And the general uncertainty that comes with entering a new relationship, business or otherwise. > What will happen with regard to Bungie's close interaction with > community leaders and leading sites? If anything, it'll get better. Max and I have been retained for exactly that purpose. > Do you know Take 2's plans for the futures of Oni or Myth? Nope. I'm not sure they've made any decisions. -Matt
